Dražen Petrović and Toni Kukoč were not far behind and soon European players, along with Latin Americans, began to carve out a significant niche. Today, in many ways, […]
Things are going pretty well for Kara Lawson lately. Last spring, her Duke team pushed South Carolina to the brink in the Elite Eight. Recently, she was named the head coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Basketball team. And she’s been on a recruiting tear too. In May, Lawson got commitments from 6-4 Taylor Sofilkanich […]

It didn’t take long in his first season as a Blue Devil for people to get that Maliq Brown was…unusual. Brown, who transferred in from conference rival Syracuse, immediately showed superb defensive instincts. He got in the passing lanes like no one else and was a brilliant presence off the bench. Unfortunately, injuries disrupted his […]
